Pivotal lightweight ranking will be on the line when Josh Thomson meets Bobby Green at UFC on FOX 12 this weekend (Sat., July 26, 2014) from San Jose, California. Will the well-traveled "Punk" inch closer to a title shot, or will the rising "King" prove he's ready to assume the throne? Read our fight preview to find out!
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweights Josh Thomson and Bobby Green will battle on the main card of UFC on FOX 12 this Saturday night (July 26, 2014), airing live at 8 p.m. ET from SAP Center in San Jose, California.
No. 3-ranked Thomson was last seen losing a razor thin split decision to former champion Benson Henderson at January's UFC on FOX 10, a fight during which "Punk" broke his right hand early on.
Prior to that, he stormed back into the Octagon with a thunderous headkick finish of Nate Diaz at UFC on FOX 7 in April 2013.
The former Strikeforce champion has seen it all in mixed martial arts (MMA), but he's in for a tough challenge in the hungry and motivated Green, the No. 13-ranked Green challenger who stepped in as a late replacement for injured Michael Johnson.
"King" has been out of action since a UFC on FOX 9 decision win over gritty grinder Pat Healy, running his Octagon record to 3-0 after previous finishes of James Krause and Jacob Volkmann.
These two Strikeforce alumni will show up ready to throw down in San Jose. Given the fact they are both from California, it should be quite the battle. Let's take a look at the keys to victory for Thomson vs. Green:
Josh Thomson
Record: 20-6 (1) overall, 3-2 UFC
Key Wins: Nate Diaz (UFC on FOX 7), Gilbert Melendez (Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Thomson), Pat Healy (Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum), Gesias Cavalcante (Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II)
Key Losses: Benson Henderson (UFC on FOX 10), Gilbert Melendez (Strikeforce: Evolution, Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier)
Keys to Victory: American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) product Thomson is a well-rounded fighter who's faced some of the best lightweights the sport has ever seen. He has an NCAA wrestling base and refines his striking with the full stable of elite athletes training out of his Northern California gym.
"Punk" also possesses a black belt in Guerilla jiu-jitsu that he's used to gain nine submission wins throughout his 13-year career. Grappling should be where "Punk" potentially holds an edge. He had Henderson's back many times at UFC on FOX 10 despite a broken hand, and "Smooth" has a much higher set of grappling accomplishments than Green.
Still, MMA math rarely works out, so Thomson has to be on guard at all times.
At 35 years old, he's not exactly the young "Punk" that his nickname suggests any longer, and Green will be more than ready to make him a stepping-stone. Thomson needs to use his experience to lull Green into a false sense of security, using his speed and wrestling to mix up his attacks with seamless precision.
He'll have the full support of his roaring hometown crowd behind him, and at this stage in his career, that will be nothing but a huge boost for him.
If "Punk" can go to work with some takedowns and wear down Green with his frenetic striking pace, a title shot will be looming tantalizingly close.
Bobby Green
Record: 22-5 overall, 3-0 UFC
Key Wins: Pat Healy (UFC on FOX 9), James Krause (UFC Fight Night 31: "Fight for Troops 3"), Jacob Volkmann (UFC 156), Daron Cruickshank (KOTC: Imminent Danger)
Key Losses: Gesias Cavalcante (Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson), Tim Means (KOTC: Inferno), Dan Lauzon (Affliction: Day of Reckoning)
Keys to Victory: Like Thomson, former King of the Cage (KOTC) lightweight champion Green is a well-rounded combatant.
With eight knockouts and nine submissions in 22 total wins, he's also a highly dangerous one. "King" has finished two out of his three UFC bouts, and he could make an absolutely huge statement by making Thomson the fourth.
To do so, however, Green will have to undoubtedly put forth the best performance of his life. Thomson has only been finished once, and that was back in 2004. Green has to be prepared to win a hard-fought decision, something that he's not necessarily accustomed to doing against top competition.
Conditioning will play a big factor in his success, because "Punk" will show up in peak physical condition. Green should look use a high torrent of jabs to disrupt Thomson's forward progress while softening him up with some kicks to the body.
Green's striking has been lethal as of late, and the iron-chinned Thomson will be the ultimate test. "King" has done well on the ground, but Thomson is simply on another level. He trains with noted Sambo specialist Khabib Nurmagomedov on a daily basis, and Green only has a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Naturally Green has to be extremely careful on the ground. If Thomson takes his back like he did Henderson's, it could be a very short night. Submissions aren't necessarily his kryptonite, but they could spell his doom in San Jose.
Keeping this fight upright with excellent takedown defense and accurate striking will be Green's best avenues to an upset.
Bottom Line from San Jose: The bottom line for this fight is that, like its Clay Guida vs. Dennis Bermudez featherweight precursor, it presents a match-up between the experienced old guard and talented young prospect.
Thomson is highly ranked and on the verge of making one last UFC title push. He's 2-2 in his last four bouts, but one small judging change in two split decisions could easily have him at 4-0 in that span.
"Punk" likes fighting in his hometown, and with a 7-3 record over some top names; he's done quite well there. Thomson will be hard to take down in front of his home fans.
Green can burst onto the scene by finishing Thomson. To accomplish that goal, he'll have to be prepared to win in what may be the most hostile environment he's ever fought in.
Green is facing the most resilient opponent of his career, but that won't sap "King's" confidence. The evolving competitor has the talent and skills to become a force in the stacked UFC lightweight division, yet the odds are stacked against him here.
If he can use his varied striking to land a bevy of combinations and avoid "Punk's" takedowns, the "King" might just take the San Jose throne.
This bout may rest on the aging Thomson's motivation, however. He teased retirement after his loss to Henderson, and while that may have been his emotions talking, we're going to find out if his head is still in the fight game.
That makes Thomson vs. Green a very intriguing fight. Enjoy it.
Josh Thomson is set to square off with Bobby Green in a pivotal lightweight showdown. Will we witness a changing of the guard in San Jose?

Michigan Attorney General-elect Bill Schuette speaks in Detroit on election night in this Nov. 2, 2010 file photo. The Supreme Court is broadening its examination of affirmative action by adding a case about Michigan's effort to ban consideration of race in college admissions. The court today said it would add the Michigan case, which focuses on the 6-year-old voter-approved prohibition on affirmative action and the appeals court ruling that overturned the ban. The new case will be argued in the fall. A decision in the Texas case is expected by late June.

r ready to become spouting geysers like those of the Yellowstone.
The Cinder Cone near marks the most recent volcanic eruption in the Sierra. It is a symmetrical truncated cone about 700 feet high, covered with gray cinders and ashes, and has a regular unchanged crater on its summit, in which a few small Two-leaved Pines are growing. These show that the age of the cone is not less than eighty years. It stands between two lakes, which a short time ago were one. Before the cone was built, a flood of rough vesicular lava was poured into the lake, cutting it in two, and, overflowing its banks, the fiery flood advanced into the pine-woods, overwhelming the trees in its way, the charred ends of some of which may still be seen projecting from beneath the snout of the lava-stream where it came to rest. Later still there was an eruption of ashes and loose obsidian cinders, probably from the same vent, which, besides forming the Cinder Cone, scattered a heavy shower over the surrounding woods for miles to a depth of

Clemson (4-1) at Long Beach State (3-2)
For the first time in five years, a Clemson team will try to bounce back from a loss in November.
The 19th-ranked Tigers look to get back on track when they face Long Beach State on Friday in a consolation game of the 76 Classic at Anaheim, Calif.
After a perfect run through its first four games, Clemson (4-1) had its 30-game November winning streak snapped with a 69-60 loss to Texas A&M in Thursday's opening round. The defeat came five years to the day the Tigers last lost in the month, 79-70 at Boston College on Nov. 26, 2004.
Shooting 49.6 percent coming into the contest, Clemson shot 33.9 for the game - including 7 for 29 in the first 20 minutes - and trailed by as many as 17 early in the second half before using a 13-4 run to get back in the game.
The Aggies also held a 41-12 advantage over the Tigers in bench scoring.
"We came out in the first half and missed shots. We quit," said forward Trevor Booker, who had a game-high 18 points and six rebounds. "We tried to come back in the second half but we just couldn't."
Despite the poor start, Clemson coach Oliver Purnell was satisfied with his squad's perseverance by outscoring the Aggies 40-36 in the second half. He hopes that can carry over to this contest and the rest of the tournament.
"I was pleased with our approach and effort in the second half," Purnell said. "If we come out with that kind of approach and discipline for the rest of the season, then we'll learn from that."
Averaging 14.6 points and 9.2 boards, the 6-foot-7 Booker could be in for another big night as Clemson faces Long Beach State (3-2) for the first time.
Greg Plater and Stephan Gilling each had 14 points as the 49ers shot 41.9 percent and committed 22 turnovers in an 85-62 loss to No. 8 West Virginia on Thursday.
Despite being considered a favorite to win the Big West title, Long Beach State has lost 14 in a row against Top 25 opponents since beating No. 25 New Mexico State 84-83 on Feb. 24, 1994.
While coach Dan Monson - in his third season at Long Beach State after more high-profiled stops at Gonzaga and Minnesota - knows his team faces a huge challenge in this contest, he hopes the competition he faces this weekend will pay off down the road.
"We need to understand that these games are for us to get better, and I don't think you can get better with a steady diet of playing teams that you're already better than," Monson told the 76 Classic's official Web site. "You've got to challenge yourself."
In order to have a chance Friday, the 49ers will likely need sophomore guard Larry Anderson to bounce back from a rough first-round contest.
Averaging a team-leading 18.8 points heading into Thursday's game, Anderson missed all three shots he took and finished with five points against West Virginia.

text: A meteorite is essentially a solid piece of debris from a source such as an asteroid or a comet, which originates in outer space and survives its impact with the Earth's surface. It is called a meteoroid before its impact. Meteorites have traditionally been divided into three broad categories: stony meteorites are rocks, mainly composed of silicate minerals; iron meteorites that are largely composed of metallic iron-nickel; and, stony-iron meteorites that contain large amounts of both metallic and rocky material. The images above show what iron meteorites look like when cut in half. Continue reading for more cool facts.

No its not like that have had one of those way back as well. It's more my stomach, feels raw when I first wake up . Can't hardly eat without it cramping up. Can't drink cold liquids either or eat cold things that also makes it cramp up. Nothing that would constitute an emergency at this particular time tho. Its all upper left abdomen. No bleeding or throwing up, and no fever, so that is why Im not so worried for the moment.
>~* Flutterby Fringe*~<
Do you feel excessively tired? Have you had Mono before? As that can cause upper-left quadrant pain.
Believe it or not bismuth, the active ingredient in Pepto, successful in treating ulcers.
If that is what you have.
Have you noticed others with stomach pain in your area?
Could it be your water?
Well I had the thought about the water also. Never had mono and not really tired just uncomfortable. My filter for my water stuff was time to change didnt have another one so used tap water for about 3 days till I got bottled water. It had this oily film on it I noticed.. so it could have been the water . My bff has been having problems as well with hers acting up also. Tonight the water out of the tap smells like it has a high clorine content. I am also worried about the corexit having seeped into our water supply and they don't filter that sort of stuff out of it.
Need to get stuff I seen for a home made water distiller to make distilled water to drink but that doesn't take care of the bath water tho and skin absorbs chemicals from showers and baths also.
>~* Flutterby Fringe*~<
i gotta ask now:
have you ever tried any probiotics: keifer, kombucha, cultured milk or cheese?
GI issues are frequently ecosystem imbalances and modern medicine mostly don't have a clue about that sorta thing.
and on that note. some past posts speaking or serotonin made want to share: serotonin is primarily used by the *stomach* to increase and decrease it's size and it is ONLY the cells in the stomach that release into to blood stream, no other way, despite what people may think 5htp will NOT help you recover serotonin loss (for folks who like mdma).
turns out tho that adding the right bacteria to the stomach will work. Studies comparing the efficacy of ssri's to pond scum in rats show that the bacteria in the pond scum is more effective...
the we buggers *talk* to the stomach cells.
it's not chemistry. it's communication.
or thats how i see it. i eat living food any chance i get. Thats part of our problem, all the food we eat is dead dead dead.
yet another modern mistake: treating bacteria as the enemy.

(ISC)² members wanted a way to educate the most vulnerable members of society – children. The Safe and Secure Online (SSO) program was introduced in 2006 in conjunction with Childnet International, and brings (ISC)²'s information security expert members into classrooms to help children ages 7-14 learn how to protect themselves online and become responsible digital citizens.
How to Volunteer
Safe and Secure Online volunteers are already reporting that they have their time booked up in schools for Safer Internet Day Tuesday February 10, 2015. Safer Internet Day has become a global event with over 65 countries hosting varied awareness activities in schools and communities. The (ISC)² Foundation's Safe and Secure Online volunteers have supported Safer Internet Day in the UK since 2007, and have challenged themselves to maximize their reach of students, teachers and parents with the Safe and Secure Online program. In each of the last 2 years UK volunteers have reached approximately 4,000 children between the ages of 7 and 14. In 2013 the (ISC)² Foundation's Safer Internet Day campaign ushered in the launch of the Safe and Secure Online program in Switzerland. In 2014, a group of volunteers brought the program to Ireland. Safe and Secure Online volunteers are encouraged to mark their calendars for Tuesday February 10. New volunteers still have the opportunity to join the campaign in countries where the program is active!Any volunteers interested in developing the program in their country are also encouraged to learn more about how to make it happen on the (ISC)² Foundation Website or by contacting the program coordinator for their region (Lindsay Drabwell, email@example.com for Europe, Middle East, and Africa; Ciera Lovitt, email@example.com for all other areas).

Thanks for helping!
It was not very busy but had a professional atmosphere. Food came out quick and was delicious. Too many items on the menu.
Like many Asian restaurants, Saki Sushi has a quiet,calming atmosphere. And the food is great! My husband who doesn't do sushi loves the tori bowls, especially the combo with skewers of chicken, beef, and shrimp. I love the maki , served with a salad and a bowl of miso.
Nothing special, just reasonably priced food with good service.
Good for lunch but for dinner there are better places
My father in law and daughter love this place it's not for me, but the family enjoy eating there and the service is good.
Stopped by on a Monday for lunch; here's my take on the situation. The restaurant is arranged nicely with just a little flare of the Orient. The lunch menu has a number of choices to choose from, all reasonably priced. I had the lunch box salmon; my salmon was overcooked, but everything else (soup, salad, tempura, fried rice and spring...
This is my favorite restaurant in Enterprise. The food is so great. Also, the lunch menu prices are relatively cheap. The atmosphere is so wonderful and the service is pretty nice depending on your waiter/waitress. I highly highly recommend this.
They have the best sushi in enterprise. They always have provided me with great service. I have a young infant so get orders to go most of the time. There lunches are great food and prices!
Love this place! Great food for lower cost due to lower overhead. Always busy! Cleaner than the Japanese place across town....
My husband and I had eaten lunch here earlier in the day and thought we would come back for dinner with our daughter, her boyfriend and his parents. We were looking forward to a good meal...We arrived and put our name in for a table for six. The tables were turning at the time and the girl said it would...
My son and I love to have sushi dates. My husband is not into sushi. We love going here. I love the jalapeño roll and the steamed dumplings. For those not into sushi there is also teriyaki bowls as well. This was a surprise to find. They can be very busy at lunch and there can be a wait. I...

Asian Women Targeted In Another Act Of Sexist, Racist Vandalism At UCLA
Looks like UCLA, ranked one of the best universities in the world, has a serial idiot on its hands.
On the day we reported that someone posted a racist, sexist message outside the offices of the Vietnamese Student Union and the Pacific Islanders Student Association, a similar scrawling was discovered.
Police seem to think the two are related:
A UCLA police official told KNX 1070 Newsradio this morning that the two instances of vandalism indeed seemed to be linked.
A possible hate-crime investigation was in the offing, a police official told us.
The latest vandalism was discovered Wednesday afternoon in a women's bathroom at Powell Library, the Daily Bruin reports: It read,"Asian Women are White-Boy Worshipping Sluts."
The message found Tuesday morning outside the Vietnamese Student Union said, "asian women R Honkie white-boy worshipping Whores."
The Union was planning an awareness event outside Kerckhoff Hall this afternoon.
Asians make up the biggest ethnic group at the Westwood school and were targeted in a racist rant on YouTube about "Asians in the library" that went viral last year.

Bobby Maddex interviews Dn. Stephen Muse, Director of the Pastoral Counselor Training program and Clinical Services for the D.A. & Elizabeth Turner Ministry Resource Center of the Pastoral Institute, Inc., in Columbus, Georgia, and the author of the book Being Bread, published by Saint Tikhon's Monastery Press.
